Default Amp suggestions.

I just ordered the Aquatic AV HU and am looking for suggestions for a amp. My current setup is biketronics with a Power Acoustics amp, Infinity kappa in fairing and kickers in the rear pods. My current amp screws up FM reception and I would like a amp that don't. Any advice??? Thanks

My advice would be to change the HU first and see if that helps FM reception. Sometimes just getting away from the stock HU does the trick. No sense in spending $$$'s if it's not needed.

I just ordered the Aquatic. I currently have a Sony biketronics setup with the amp and speakers mentioned. I am looking for a better amp to go with my Aquatic that won't kill FM reception.

if there was nothing wrong with the sony and biketronics stuff I would have kept it and just upgraded the amp.

The B54 is a good mid grade amp. The are supposed to be sold around the 329 range but you can find them just about everywhere now for roughly the 200 range. I personally am not a huge fan of it but if your trying to be budget conscious its not a bad route.
